Title:

IMPACT OF THE INTERCOSMOS PROGRAMME ON THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF SOLAR SPACE RESEARCH

Authors:

Abstract:

We summarize main achievements of the solar studies performed in the framework of the INTERCOSMOS Programme. The most attention is given to X-ray (l< 30 Å) solar research performed in Russia, Czech Republic and Poland. In order to keep the review concise, we select to discuss the most important achievements, both in respect of the scientific significance and the progress in development of the original instrument concepts. In particular, in our opinion, the three groups from:

P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute (FIAN) from Russia,
Astronomical Institute of Czech Academy of Sciences (AI CAS),
Space Research Centre of Polish Academy of Sciences,
mostly contributed to the progress in the field.

The results obtained within the INTERCOSMOS Programme are related to solar flare and active region physics, atomic physics and plasma diagnostics. In many cases, the results obtained and ideas developed were essentially new. Their novelty has wildly influenced development of space solar studies, opening several new research areas and stimulating new experimental concepts. Some of the concepts developed over the last 30 years did not loose their importance and continue to affect the research work in space solar physics at present
